A paradise just 15 minutes away from Kota Kinabalu

Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia 🇲🇾

Even though it's the rainy season, we managed to squeeze in a 1-day trip to Sapi Island during a sunny break 🏖️

Boats to Sapi Island and other nearby islands depart from the "Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal" 🛥️

You can choose between visiting 1 to 4 islands, and the price varies depending on your choice 🏖️🏝️🏖️🏝️

This time, we only visited Sapi Island, and the round-trip fare was 35 RM (approximately 1,200 yen) per person 🐥

Although we had booked the 11:00 AM boat, it ended up departing around 11:30 AM 😅

Be cautious—if you hesitate, you might never get on the boat 🙈

The ride to Sapi Island takes about 15–20 minutes‼︎

It's the perfect distance (haha).

The water clarity was decent, and as you venture further out, you'll find more fish 🐠

Wearing a life jacket is mandatory when entering the water, and rentals cost 10 RM (approximately 340 yen)!

Snorkel rentals are also available for 10 RM (approximately 340 yen) 🤿

I brought my GoPro, but unfortunately, water leaked into the case, and I lost all the data 😭

Luckily, the camera itself was fine...

Showers are available for free 🚿

There are places to eat, so you can spend a relaxing day there 😌

Don't forget to bring a towel and sunscreen!
